Hello. is there any way to clone parent along with children?

I product having variations of sizes and colors. I decided to establish as a parent, all color mutations. Each parent has 12 descendants which are different cost and different dimensions.

Now I realize how simple cloning, because the offspring will be all the same and parents will change only the color. and I really want to fill every combination from scratch :(

Hi marvays,
This is not possible by default and i think it's a little complicate to write a simple loop(because you need to add the customfields relation).
I think the simpliest is to use a good import tool. That can manage to add the Parent and use your existing product as reference to fill your sheet.

I have wrote myself an import tools, but i'm not sure this work excatly as you need.
Perhaps with CSVI Pro (more complicate), it's possible, you need to contact the author.

Greets,
